Linux 2.6.30-rc3 SDHC performance faster than the stock kernel

[pushbx]

I did a bunch of SDHC benchmarks with the stock kernel and the results were unimpressive.  8.4MB/s read and 1.7MB/s write.  Yesterday I compiled a new kernel from mainline 2.6.30-rc3 and patched it with the MMC patch.  I reran my test and the SDHC performance is MUCH better. 19.03MB read and 6.5MB writes.  The new numbers matched what I get when I run the same memory card on a fast machines.

I think Marvell should push out the new kernel as soon as possible, and perhaps provide a new jffs image that can be burned into the flash.

I know the patches enable the faster performance were submitted by Marvell Engineers.

I worked with a few of them.  Great bunch of folks. Fun to hang around with on IRC.

would you mind letting me which #channel and which server?
Some nicks (of those Marvell Eng) would be nice to know...

Thanx
